Description

A Man-Of-War of the Red Squadron, Departing the 'Tail of the Bank' Anchorage on the Clyde.

A 52-gun 4th-rate man-of-war of the Red Squadron departing from the Tail of the Bank anchorage in the upper Firth of Clyde, and the busy waterfront near Greenock, in the shelter of the hills. At the foremast, the blue flag pierced with white is the Blue Peter, indicating imminent departure. Visible directly beneath the bowsprit of the central frigate is a very early steamer, possibly the Comet, which was built by Henry Bell and launched in 1812 (when Salmon was staying in the area).
